Fastest nations Russia and Hungary, winning three gold each at 200m Finals.
Winning his second gold here in Minsk and 5th this season in Junior level, Aleksandr Tutaev (RUS), commented “The race was really hard and I didn’t know how it finished at the end, everybody was very fast, it’s my fifth gold of the season, finishing first is hard but a big pleasure and Tokyo is my next goal” he started canoeing as a sprinter and he said that his favourite discipline is 200m but he is also racing in longer distance and competing in 500m too.
Russian Sergei Filin, the double gold winner this morning in K1 and K2 Junior said “I have two gold medals here so far, K1 200m and K2 200m, I am very satisfied I tried to do the fastest race I could but Hungary and Great Britain were fast too which didn’t make it easy for me, we are training for this race since one year ago in K2, we also won European championships K2 500 and 200m.”
Hungarian favourite, last year’s U23 K1 Champion Luca Homonnai (HUN) is repeating her results and grabs gold in K1 200m, she said after finishing her race, “Morning finals are not very good for me but I made it today, the start was good but the finish was not what I planned, I am very happy and I look forward to the 500m final”. She won her second gold of the day in the afternoon, K1 women 500m U23.
The unique gold of Portugal was won by Tiago Tavares, thrilled by his race said “its amazing, I haven’t woke up of this dream yet and I have an incredible feeling, I was not expecting to win here as all these guys are very strong in 200m and the finish was so close, I couldn’t dare looking at the screen after the race , Vadim from Lithuania told me that I’m first and I couldn’t believe him.
